Q

One of the most common types of physical evidence found at a crime scene is ______, a generic term for small, often microscopic material.
In this lesson we discussed some of the types of trace evidence that a crime scene specialist will encounter at a crime scene. These include hair, fibers, tool marks, glass, paint and soil. We looked at the general properties of each one of these types of trace evidence, the value of each as evidence, and how to collect as evidence.
Throughout the lesson we learned how the various forms of trace evidence present unique detection and collection problems. We also learned that each type of evidence must be handled in a very careful and meticulous fashion to ensure not only proper collection, but also preservation for later use in criminal proceedings.
